## What it does

The skill created `dataset_schema.json`, `output_schema.json`, and `key_value_store_schema.json` files for Apify Actors. That logic is now part of `apify-actor-development`, and `apify-generate-output-schema` is marked deprecated and will be removed.

When invoked, it does not perform the work itself: it checks whether `apify-actor-development` is present, then either loads its instructions or prompts you to install the new skill. Without `apify-actor-development`, it will not generate schemas from memory.

Do not install this skill in new projects: go directly for `apify-actor-development`, which holds the current version and the full Actor development toolset.
